Self Proclaimed 3 Songtext
von Dax

(LexNour) you can′t expect nobody to believe in your dream
It wasn't theirs in the first place
This is "Self Proclaimed 3", it′s Dax

Yeah, I told 'em I would make this happen (yes)
I told 'em I didn′t need a genie, fuck wishin′ I'ma work, this ain′t no Aladdin
I told 'em everythin′ was all imagined
And that my mind was just a weapon that I metaled in to make magnets

Told 'em I would win, I would never stop
Told ′em I would make it, told 'em I would fuckin' climb up to the top
How I did it? Climbed mountains, wasn′t afraid of the drop (I ain′t afraid)
Put my city on the map with a bucket and a mop

What you thought? That I would pack up and quit?
My mom would slap me in the face, say she ain't raised no bitch
Third chapter of the story, now that broke boy rich
But his mentality, ain′t gon switch, fuck

I guess I'm on now, I put my life into this music manifested
What you see through all these songs now
I cannot calm down, they tried to rain on my parade, it′s a brigade
It's like I′m walkin' through a storm now


Fuck what you gotta say, fuck mediocrity
100 niggas tried, not one is ever stoppin' me
Speak it to existence, yes, that is my philosophy
I was born broke but refuse to die in poverty

See, it′s the law of attraction
If you think you can have it, if you see it, you can grab it
If you speak it then you put in the time, you build habits
Fuck average, convince yourself you can be the best fucker on the planet

And you know this, you have to stay focused (stay focused)
Anythin′ could happen, you could die at this moment
You only get one life to live, so take it and own it
Your biggest threat is yourself, you your biggest opponent

They gon' lie to your face and try to tell you, you′re broken
Don't listen, God got you, if you′re born you're chosen
Get your life in motion, stop dreamin′, stop wishin', stop cryin'
Start prayin′, start livin′, stop hopin'

You remember me? The one you picked last
The one that you clowned said he was trash
I took all of your comments, then I put them in a bag
Then I went and bought a bat and started beatin′ on my craft


I don't need no introduction, me losings out of discussion
Get that stuck in your head just like concussions
My dreams chase me, I woke up and stopped runnin′
Looked 'em dead in the eye, you shoulda knew that I was comin′

I ain't special, if I can do it you can do it
This ain't mainstream rap, this is motivational music
You have talent, please use it, it′s yours, just choose it
Stop sittin′ on the bench, sub in and go stupid

Then don't look back
This life is yours, you must drive it you can′t afford to crash
Your futures brights you must light it, you must learn from your past
It goes by superfast
Forget a handout you don't need it, get yo′ own back

Forget approval you don't need it you yo′ own man
Go tell the world that you're the greatest, then go own that
Take yo' soul back, keep yo′ head up in the rain
Speak yo′ life into existence, become self-proclaimed, yeah

If you need it, I will be here in yo' head speakin′ words you'll need if defeated
Yes, you can, and you will, yes, just believe it (just believe it)
You great, I swear I can see it, uh, it′s Dax
Get up, and work, co-sign yourself
